The study shows that one third of global forest loss between 2001 and 2019 was due to fires, which is higher than previous estimates. The new map showed that the proportion of global forest loss due to fires between 2001 and 2019 is 26% to 29%, higher than previously estimated. “Our Global forest fires 2001-2019 map.
